Davis and Ellison plan to transfer from men’s basketball program

Sophomore guard Khameron Davis (13) and junior forward Malik Ellison (3) will transfer at the end of this semester.

Pitt men’s basketball announced its second player departure in three days on Wednesday afternoon. Sophomore guard Khameron Davis and junior forward Malik Ellison will transfer at the end of this semester.

After transferring to Pitt from St. John’s after the 2017 season, Ellison was forced to sit out the following year due to NCAA transfer rules. Ellison was named captain of this year’s Panther team and averaged 5.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in 31 games. He expects to graduate this spring before departing, according to a University release.
